SLEEP WHERE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE!! It is best for the baby that you are rested. Unless your BP is elevated or your dr. told you specifically to sleep on your left for a reason don't worry about it at all. Sleeping on your left creates optimum blood flow for the baby but certainly is not mandatory for a healthy baby.
